Trump judged fit to govern: the White House reveals its latest medical report.

The White House has made public the results of the medical examination of the President of the United States, Donald Trump, concluding that he is fit to continue in his roles, in a context where his health is under increased scrutiny. At 79 years old, Donald Trump underwent a routine medical check-up at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on Tuesday. The delay before the report’s publication had fueled several speculations in American political and media circles.

In a memorandum released on Friday, the White House physician, Captain Sean P. Barbabella, states that the president is in “excellent overall health,” with satisfactory cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological, and physical functions. According to the physician, Donald Trump remains “fully fit” to carry out his responsibilities as commander in chief and head of state.

The report also addresses certain physical signs that had raised questions in recent months, including bruises on his hands and swelling in his legs. According to the presidential physician, these marks are considered benign and likely linked to the frequency of handshakes, combined with aspirin use as part of a cardiovascular preventive treatment. The document also notes that the leg edema has decreased compared to the previous year.

On his social network Truth Social, Donald Trump previously assured that his medical exam went “perfectly,” claiming that all assessments conducted yielded positive results. The release of this report comes just weeks before his 80th birthday, as questions regarding the age and physical condition of political leaders continue to fuel public debate in the United States.

The topic remains particularly sensitive in the wake of discussions surrounding Joe Biden’s fitness during his term and the transparency of medical information concerning the country’s top political officials. The report also concludes that cognitive and neurological functions are normal. It finally mentions several preventive health recommendations, particularly regarding diet, regular physical activity, weight management, and cardiovascular monitoring.
